The Outer Frontier

This most recent Era marks the relative rise of new powers in what had been the Outer Volumes of Terragen space. While the older powers of the Inner Sphere are as strong as ever, they have many strange new rivals, and there are strange and disturbing events not only on the periphery of Terragen Sphere but all through the inhabited regions.

Newton and the Newton Mass Transcendance - Text by Anders SandbergIn 8344 AT, in the Newton system (Beta Oolonga, currently in Metasoft space) a Keterist awakening occurred, and over the span of twenty years a massive project of augmentation was instituted. In 8365 most contact with the system was lost, as it appears that over a very short span of time practically all inhabitants were transformed into transapientech constructs. The Newton System Intellect that emerged remained in limited contact with the neighbouring systems for a short while before vanishing. Currently the system is a research protectorate of Metasoft.
